Klopp Takes Responsibility For Shock Liverpool Defeat Against Burnley

Klopp Takes Responsibility For Shock Liverpool Defeat Against Burnley

Liverpool fell to a shocking defeat at home to Burnley in the Premier League on Thursday and head coach Jurgen Klopp has insisted he is prepared to shoulder the blame.

The Reds lost at home for the first time since a 2-1 defeat against Crystal palace during the dying embers of the 2016-2017 season.

 Ashley Barnes’ late penalty in the second half brought an end to the champions' 68-game unbeaten Premier League run at Anfield.

Klopp’s men came up against a well-drilled Burnley side, who were once again inspired by Nick Pope’s masterclass.

Liverpool have now gone five Premier League games without a win (D3 L2) for only the second time under Jurgen Klopp and have not scored a goal in any of their last four league matches.

"We lost the game which is pretty impossible but we did it. That is my fault. It is my job to make sure the boys have the right feelings and confidence,” Klopp said after the game.

“That didn't work out. We had the ball a lot and created some situations that are OK but our final decision is not right. I said the same thing last week.

“When something doesn't work you must try harder, longer and more often and make better decisions. It didn't work tonight.

"It is always my fault. If I make clear which movement make sense because it will hurt the opponent and we don't do that then I need to make it clearer.”

“It is not that they don't want. It is difficult to play against these low blocks. It helps if you score the first goal but we didn't. That changes the opponent. After not scoring for a long time not everybody feels confident.

"I never thought of us as free scoring. I knew we had to work hard. It is not the first time or last time it will happen in football.

“We can only use this game for the next one. It is not because the players do not have the ability Our decision making is the problem. If we score in our big moments it changes things but we did not."
